- Pakistan shared a revised Iranian proposal to end the Middle East war with the United States, a Reuters source said.
- Esmaeil Baghaei confirmed Tehran’s views were conveyed to Washington through Pakistan.
- Donald Trump warned the Iran‑U.S. ceasefire reached in early April was “on life support” after Tehran’s response to a U.S. proposal.
- Iran demands a permanent end to hostilities, compensation for war damage, lifting of the U.S. naval blockade, a guarantee of no further attacks, and resumption of its oil sales.
- Strait of Hormuz remains a bargaining chip, with Iran having shut down shipping that carries roughly one‑fifth of global oil and LNG.
Why it matters: Acceptance of Iran’s revised peace terms could lift the U.S. naval blockade, restart Iranian oil exports, and ease global oil supply pressures, benefiting both U.S. energy markets and regional stability.
